De Pijp Hotel

Perfect location. Lovely park across the road to relax and take some time away from the tourist traps. Lovely cafe’s, bars and eateries close by. Tram station is a short walk to get you to the main centre of Dam Square. The staff are very attentive and pleasant. It was super quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

Did not get breakfast as advertised. Hotel was under renovation. Hence the premises was untidy

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to pay *** a night to stay in a glorified walk-in closet, this is the place for you. I was under the impression I was booking a luxury stay; instead, I was treated to the world’s most expensive social experiment. The "Pros": The location was great. That’s it. That’s the list. The Cons (Grab a snack, this will take a moment): – The "Large" Room: I’m not sure what dictionary the management is using, but "Large" apparently means "barely enough space to change your mind." It is officially the smallest room in the history of hospitality. – The Iron Saga: I requested an iron before I even arrived. For three days, the staff offered a steady stream of empty promises but zero actual hardware. I suppose looking like a wrinkled mess is the "aesthetic" they’re going for here. – Tech & Amenities: The TV isn’t smart, rendering it a very large, black paperweight. Even more shocking? No fridge. I’ve stayed in budget roadside motels with better cooling facilities. – The Light Situation: There was no switch to turn off the bathroom light. It stayed on 24/7, which was a lovely way to ensure I never truly felt alone—or rested. – Sleeping on Bricks: Don’t expect pillows designed for the human anatomy. Instead, you get "high boxy rectangles" that I can only assume were stolen from a gymnastics foam pit. – Fresh Air is a Luxury: The windows don’t open. So, you get to enjoy the recycled air of everyone else's disappointment. – The Breakfast: I didn't dare try it, I wasn't feeling particularly "adventurous", but based on its appearance, it looked like it was mourning its own existence. The Verdict: For the price of a weekend here, you could live like royalty for two weeks in Thailand or Mexico. Unless you have a passion for overpaying to be ignored in a tiny, bright room, skip it.

The hotel has a hostel vibe at least the room we booked in. It was a tight room for a 4-person capacity accommodation. Basic needs available per request. Minimal necessities inside the room. Basically a cheap hotel for a sleep-only purpose if you are roaming around most of the time.
